I am one tuckered little guy. Today has been a good, but really long, day. For starters, let me just ask…where in the heck did this rain come from?? I mean, seriously, it isn’t unusual for this season…but it’s totally unexpected given the gloriously wonderful weather we have been having…that is, until now. I kinda like the rain, though…it’s arrival, however, is totally random.
Today was mostly errand day. I think I have spent more money in the last 24 hours that I care to disclose. It’s too painful to think about. But I do have some really neat toys as a result. The first of which, as you all know from my previous post, is my new Mac Mini. I’m loving it, to say the least. I also picked up some various accouterments at Nelson’s Photo Supply in Little Italy. Now, for those of you who don’t know about Nelson’s not only do they have a fully equipped store with everything ranging from cameras (of course) to lenses, but they also carry lighting equipment, softboxes and the like, reflectors, filters, binoculars, bags, tripods, and everything else your little photography-loving heart could or would ever desire. Not to mention, the highly- knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff were there to make suggestions and answer any questions the consumer would have. A great place that I will definitely be visiting again. Not to mention that a Fillipi’s Pizza Grotto is right down the street. But among my purchases there was a new lens; an 85mm fixed focal length that should help me to turn out some nice portraits. I shot around my grandparents’ back yard this afternoon and was terribly impressed with the results. Now I just need to get a really hot model in front of my camera now. :) I was really impressed with the sharpness and the speed of the lens, which Ben the Sales Dude told me about. He wasn’t kidding.
Anyway, I think I’m going to go to bed now. The weekend is just beginning…that’s the nice part. :)
